Java Double equals() method

Java equals() method belongs to the Double class. This method is used to compare the value of the Double-object currently used with the value of the parameter. It has boolean as its return type i.e returns true if the value of the Double-object is equal to the value of the parameter and returns false if the value of the Double-object is not equal to the value of the parameter.

This method overrides the equals() method of Object class.

Syntax:

public boolean equals(Object obj)

Parameter:

The parameter passed is the Object which is to be checked for equality with the Double-object.

Returns:

Returns true if the value of Double-object value is equal to the value passed as a parameter and returns false if the value of Double-object value is not equal to the value passed as parameter.

Example 1:

Here, the Double objects ob1, ob2, ob3 are checked for equality by using the equals() method.

import java.lang.Double;

public class StudyTonight 
{  
    public static void main(String[] args) 
    {          
        Double ob1 = 20.0; 
        Double ob2 = 40.0; 
        Double ob3 = 40.0;  
          
         //Checking for objects with equal and unequal values
        System.out.println("ob1 and ob2 equal?  "+ob1.equals(ob2));  
        System.out.println("ob2 and ob3 equal?  "+ob2.equals(ob3));
         
                          
    }  
}

ob1 and ob2 equal? false
ob2 and ob3 equal? true

Example 2:

Here is a user-defined example where anyone using this code can put a value of his choice and get the desired result.

import java.util.Scanner; 

public class StudyTonight 
{  
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {          
        try
        {
          Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);  
          System.out.print("Enter first double value: ");  
          Double n1 = sc.nextDouble();  
          System.out.print("Enter second double value ");  
          Double n2 = sc.nextDouble();  
          boolean r = n1.equals(n2);  
            if (r==true)
             {               
               System.out.println("Same numbers entered");  
             }  
           else
             {  
               System.out.println("Different numbers entered");  
             }
        }
        catch(Exception e)
        {
          System.out.println("Invalid input!!Please check");
        }
    }  
}  

Enter first double value: 88.66
Enter second double value 88.66
Same numbers entered
****************************************
Enter first double value: 98.99
Enter second double value 98.998
Different numbers entered
****************************************
Enter first double value: 0x88.8
Invalid input!!Please check
